What is sap activate methodology?


SAP Activate is a four-to-six-step technique designed to help organizations transition to S/4HANA and
direct them from preparing to going live. Trigger focuses at its core on three main pillars: Guided
configuration, best practices, and methodology. The driven configuration is a series of tools that help
with the initial implementation of SAP best practices.

collection.

On-Premise Edition

SAP Implementation Guide and Solution Manager offers configuration tasks for in-depth custom
configuration. SAP Best Practices include a set of guidelines and best practices for efficient and
successful data migration and SAP S/4HANA integration along with many other best ways to customize
your own SAP standard processes. The method fills the gap between the IT community and the
company for the effective implementation of S/4HANA.

SAP Enable Methodology


Above two, it gives real value to the company. The methodology is, in my view, the main component for
initiating any SAP S/4HANA implementation. In this blog, we will understand the SAP Enable
Methodology

SAP Activate tools included in this technique, including a large range of documentation templates,
accelerators, and other resources, will help make your S/4HANA project much easier and can all be
found through links to the Roadmap Viewer and Best Practices Explorer on the SAP Trigger Technique
JAM groups. It also Enable will support both Brownfield and Greenfield migration to S/4HANA. Although
SAP recommends a Greenfield approach by re-implementing S/4HANA and using a ‘fit to the norm’
approach, many organizations feel that a Brownfield approach is best suited to them.

There are various collections of methods available. For Cloud Version, Consumer Self-Service Setup and
Expert Configuration enable the best practice processes to be modified while the professional
configuration enables new processes to be applied to the current collection.

For an on-site solution, the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG) and Solution Manager provide
configuration tasks for in-depth custom configuration. SAP Best Practices includes a set of
recommendations and best practices for effective integration and data migration to S4, along with the
best way to configure your own processes or develop SAP-standard processes.

SAP best practices to explore options for a company’s unique business situations and to recommend the
most appropriate options. Instead of planning a business roadmap document to cover all business
situations, SAP Activate is performing fit-gap research (known as Fit-to-Standard in SAP Activate) and is
using SAP best practices as well as rapid implementation strategies to see how the SAP framework best
tackles features and functionality gaps.

Implementation, redesign, migration, or conversion projects will benefit from SAP Enable
Implementation Methodology – an agile way for organizations to adopt SAP software.

SAP Activate is the successor to the ASAP (Accelerated SAP) approach that has been widely used for SAP
ECC deployment and update programs. SAP Activate deployment methodologies are not only applicable
for SAP S/4HANA cloud or on-premise, but also for SAP BW/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP S/4HANA,
SAP Hybris, and as SAP Ariba.

SAP Activate Methodology deployed


This depends upon different starting points such as the client may be new to SAP, still using the legacy
SAP, or may have a mature SAP landscape that you need to prepare to simplify and transform. there are
three major adoption roadmaps.

New Implementation

In this situation, you are installing a completely new S/4HANA framework and migrating your data.
Many clients will benefit from the latest implementation of the Industry-leading Business Suite and
process simplification focused on ready-to-run business processes.

System Conversion

In this case, you can already use SAP Business Suite on the SAP HANA in-memory platform and want to
migrate your current system to a S/4HANA system. Customers can leverage Rapid Deployment
Approach and benefit from migration without any interruption or re-implementation of current business
processes, re-evaluation of existing business processes, and time-frame customization

Landscape Transformation

In this situation, we may want to use S/4HANA as your central finance framework or transfer an
application to S/4HANA, or you may want to simplify your current system landscape by merging
multiple business processes into one new S/4HANA case. Based on your SAP Landscape Transformation
Replication Server, updates to the new enhancement kit and migration to SAP HANA are provided by
services. It has several other benefits, as it will progressively switch to S/4HANA with existing business
processes, can also carve out S/4HANA from a single company entity, and simplify the operation.

SAP Activate Implementation Methodology


SAP Activate implementation methodology consists of the following six phases:

SAP Activate implementation methodology

Source: SAP

The Discover Phase

During this process, the project teams will discover the capabilities of the SAP solution in order to better
understand the business value and benefits of the S/4HANA implementation. It also helps the team to
identify the target technology architecture as well as the implementation plan to be pursued. This
process also enables business users to prepare the business case for the implementation of SAP
S/4HANA and to prepare the deployment roadmap for the digital transformation journey.

The Prepare Phase

In this process, initial project planning and preparation take place at the project management stage,
which includes the preparation of the project plan for the implementation of the S/4HANA as well as the
assignment of the team. Other critical activities of this process are the specification of the goals of the
S/4HANA project, and the identification, and quantification of business value goals for the
implementation of S/4HANA. Executive sponsorship is ensured and project standards, governance, and
organization are developed. Reporting and monitoring the progress of the project is finalized. The tasks
and responsibilities of the project team are also finalized at this point.

The Explore Phase

At this point, business users will explore SAP best practices and standard business processes (known as
Fit-to-Standard) such as order-to-cash, purchase-to-pay or hire-to-retreat mapped out for S/4HANA.
Sample data from a fictional company is also available to allow business users to run end-to-end
processes to determine how closely a standard solution suits the company’s business needs. Here,
business users and the consulting firm of SAP agree on the configurable artifacts needed for the
company. The fit-gap strategy will determine if the redesign, tailored program, or business add-in will
resolve the defined gaps. Additional but important tasks of this process include master data load
planning, where MS-Excel data models are shared with business users so that they start working on and
planning clean, accurate and detailed master data for loading into the S/4HANA framework. In addition,
initial SAP testing and training needs are also underway at this point.

The Realize Phase

During this step, a series of activities will progressively develop, evaluate and validate the business
scenarios and processes defined in the previous step (Discover phase). Master data is loaded to verify
and validate consistency and completeness to ensure smoother, error-free transactions and business
processes are running. All custom development is also tested during the realization process. Key
business users are trained as ‘trainers’ with the goal that these SAP trainers can ultimately train end-
users (train-the-trainer approach). End-user training is often designed so that appropriate end-users can
be engaged at the right time and trained only in their particular fields of work.

Business users and SAP consultants will dive extensively into the end-to-end integration testing of
various SAP modules to ensure that they are completely integrated. Data and information flow are
complete and accurate

The Deploy Phase

In this process, the master trainers are training the end-users. The cut-off operations in which the
company switches from legacy systems to S/4HANA take place. Some of the essential cut-off tasks
include planning the SAP development system with final master data uploads, uploading the cut-off or
closing financial and inventory balances from legacy systems to S/4HANA, checking and validating all
functions and authorizations for business users and end-users. Change management activities culminate
in the coordination of all stakeholders to ensure the transition to S/4HANA is not only embraced but is
also smooth.

The Run Phase

In this step, the SAP system is further stabilized by ensuring that any potential problems, errors or
incorrect entries that may have occurred within the first few days of live S/4HANA are quickly corrected.
Establishing a dedicated IT or SAP helpdesk to fix these issues goes a long way towards the smoother
operation of S/4HANA. Here, business users again play a vital role in ensuring trouble-free collaboration
with the company’s internal SAP helpdesk and SAP consultants to address problems efficiently and
comprehensively. Efficient and timely financial closure of the first month within the timeframe, verify the
accurate and effective functioning of the business processes.
